Big Sub-Station.
Acclaimed by experts as one of the foremost in the Southern Hemisphere in modern eonstruction and appointments, the Government electrical substation on East Road, Stratford, is now in operation. ' On March 1, without any ceremony, a few levers were switched over and electrical energy at 110,000 volts flowed into the huge transformers. In a split-second the station had commenced to function, and another important stage had been reached in carrying out the comprehensive State schenxe for the distribution of power in the North Island. "Get a Quid." "If a man has not the interests of the game at heart, don't nominate him as a vice-president," said the president of the Waipukurau Football Club (Mr. W. H. Booth) at the annual meeting when entering a strong protest against the practice of some bodies in electing their vice-presidents merely because they "thought they could get a quid out of them." The protest against what the president described as "the commercialisation of sports bodies" was endorsed hy Mr. A. C. Holms, who stated that a club would not lose by giving its honours to old players and enthusiasts.
